I see this less as a "old guy who's so rich that he doesn't know how much property he owns" and more along the funnier lines of, "the senility hits a brand new level". "What? Home? Who wants to put me into a home?! Who are you people?! Where's my medicine!? Stop taking my picture, you're stealing my soul!!!"

I see this as a non-story. The houses are investment property. If you asked me how many mutual funds I own, I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.

"...the luscious love melons of Linnea Quigley are back on the screen in 'Sexbomb,' except that she's no longer Linnea Quigley. She's billed simply as 'Linnea'... So, you might be wondering, where is Linnea Qui... I mean, Linnea? She's exactly where we would expect, wandering around through the background with her breasts hanging out. She's got maybe, oh, eight words to say in this movie, and most of them are 'Here, I brought you some coffee.'"-Joe Bob on SEXBOMB

I think this is a non-story, but as inflating tires became a big issue among people being willfully ignorant, it will be fun to see the gander get sauced.

The stupidity in saying we need to just inflate our tires and get tune-ups is the claim was made that would offset all the oil we'd get from drilling or about 12 million barrels a day. This assumes that ...1. We're to stupid to keep out tires inflated and 2. We all drive old cars that require tune-ups. Most cars today do not require conventional tune-ups. (Plugs etc changes at 100K) and assuming your tires are under-inflated, having proper inflation will improve your gas mileage by 3%. It was nothing more than a naive and uninformed statement and not much of an energy plan.

It was his response when someone asked him about his energy plan.I think that this is getting hyped out of a misperception that this shows McCain to be the "elitist" that Obama has been called. But, excepting maybe some special Marxist definition, "elitist" does not mean "wealthy person". Americans who aren't Canadian deep down inside don't mind other people being wealthy, we dislike wealthy people who favor policies that would keep other people from getting wealthy.
